Frankly, Scarlet, we do give a damn.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While it might not be considered a blockbuster today, Gone With The Wind was part of 1939's biggest box office competition, and its quotes are still as insightful, romantic, and witty as they were over 80 years ago. Based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell, it follows feisty Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara before, during, and after the Civil War shakes the foundations of the antebellum South.
29 "Whatever Happens, I'll Love You Just As I Do Now Until I Die." This quote by Melanie Hamilton is an example of unfettered affection between her and Ashley. Where Rhett and Scarlett's romance is tempestuous and passionate, Melanie and Ashley's is constant and enduring. Her ability to be honest is one of the reasons why Ashley marries her rather than Scarlett, whose tendency to view love as transactional prevents her from finding it.
26 "I Seem To Be Spoiling Everybody's Brandy, And Cigars, And Dreams Of Victory." When Rhett discusses the impending Civil War with Ashley Wilkes and Melanie's brother , they believe he's speaking treason when he correctly deduces that the North is better equipped. They belittle his character, but Rhett is characteristically unphased. He mentions this quote, which reduces their outrage to nothing more than petty bickering.
22 “If I Said I Was Madly In Love With You, I’d Be Lying And What’s More, You’d Know It." Scarlett declares this to Rhett Butler when he questions her feelings for him. Where he's able to be effusive about his emotions, she won't dignify his affections with a response other than being coy. Unfortunately, her reservations only make her more of a challenge for someone like Rhett, who finds winning her love as his highest priority.
19 "I'm Very Drunk And I Intend On Getting Still Drunker Before The Evening's Over." Rhett Butler is considered one of literature's most rakish heroes, and as played by Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind, truly comes across as a 19th-century Han Solo mixed with a little James Bond. This line perfectly exemplifies his cheeky sense of humor as well as his penchant for imbibing. His Bohemian behavior is in sharp contrast to Scarlett's need to be in control all the time.
16 "I Am Haunted By The Memory Of Them And Of The World Falling About My Ears.” Ashley represents a loss of innocence for the South, and with his sophomoric words about its past, showcases the fact that its future won't include cotillions and sipping fine wine while indentured people of color work the cotton fields. Things weren't hard for Ashley and the people in his class, and now he must face the brunt candor of hopelessness and humiliation.
